Hi All,
This is my latest Revell Norton Manx 500 cc bike kit 1:9 There were numerous TT and GP wins for these successful vertical shaft single-cylinder engines.Geoffrey Duke rode this Norton to have many wins.

Regards tf64.

BigGrin Excellent model tf, very well done. Love the middle photo with the draped material and superb lighting, makes it look very nostalgic AND realistic too, good work. Any more bike models to show ??

P.S. - If you want to make the Norton model look even more realistic you could try putting a few drops of dirty oil on the cloth beneath the model. LOL LOL LOL
